Trent Alexander-Arnold has been named new vice-captain of Liverpool.
The defender succeeds James Milner after his departure for Brighton.
Virgil van Dijk, who has been appointed new club captain, told liverpoolfc.com: It's a proud moment for him obviously and his family.
I think he's in a phase now where he has to make that transition of becoming a big leader for the football club. I think he will make those steps. And with the help obviously of myself and the others, Robbo, Ali, Mo, obviously the manager, he can make the next step.
I think to give that responsibility to him could definitely even more benefit him as well. So it's a very good choice.
"Obviously the others as well, they are as important and we all have to make sure that we take the responsibility."
